BuddyPress.org

Hi, not to hijack a thread.. but I have the exact same issue at livingwallart.com. I can view someone else’s profile but not my own.

I did rename my wordpress admin user account. I tried renaming it back. I still have the same problem… however.. for some reason.. when I click on my profile name it shows up as http://www.livingwallart.com/members/gavin-walsh-2/ So instead of just gavin-walsh, it throws a 2 on the end.

How could this be fixed?

I have another problem that could possibly be related. When I go to http://www.livingwallart.com/register and try to register, it just reloads the page and no one is registered.

I should add that I am using FastCGI for PHP and it’s the latest version of wordpress and buddypress.

Thanks a lot!

Gavin

I’m on GoDaddy, using WordPress MU and BuddyPress, it’s working fine for me. I do have a dedicated IP with my Deluxe hosting account, have you look into the possibility that you may need a dedicated IP or to upgrade your regular hosting account? Check out my installation at LwEEs.com.

Hi,

I am now running WordPress 2.9.2 + BuddyPress 1.2.2 + BuddyPress template pack plugin. Integration seems good, except for one MAJOR glitch: I cannot write posts or pages from the back-end interface anymore!

Is this intended – I doubt it – or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for any advice,

Hector

WordPress = CMS / blog

BuddyPress = Community

bbpress = Forum

So yes, WordPress/BuddyPress is not yet a true forum like phpbb, which was just designed for the purpose.

@tomstage you are just going into a wrong direction…

1. You need to learn requirements to run WordPress.

2. Linux is just another OS, just like Windows or Mac.

3. Ask your web.config questions to your server provider, buddypress forum is not a place for questions regarding windows servers.

And most importantly, read and follow the instructions here.

Hi socialpreneur, so you mean standard wordpress install, then install bbpress, then add buddypress!

That’s option 2. Try both, use the one you feel the most comfortable.

Did you rename your wordpress admin user account?

If you have searched the forum, developers (from the navigation on top), and google you have two options:

1. Install bbpress from the one click installer by BuddyPress

2. Install bbpress alone and connect to BuddyPress

You’ll have total freedom customizing the forum if you choose option 2, but thanks to the community, there’s a plugin for option 1 too.

Get a testing environment, try the both and explorer the bp world!!

yes and no. It’s not updated yet to work with current BP

Iis doesn’t usually support php. Web.config is a file that’s used for an asp.net application/website. You should switch your plan to a Linux based hosting plan if you want to use buddypress and wordpress as those are usually best run on Linux plans. I’m not even sure how you got them running on IIS as you need mysql database and I wouldn’t think you could get one with a windows plan.

This looks like a great Widget. Unfortunately I see an error in my Home page after it has been activated:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_blogs_get_latest_posts() in C:\xampp\htdocs\enterprise\wp-content\plugins\ahjira-recent-sitewide-articles\ahjira-recent-sitewide-articles.php on line 41

Sorry if this is a newbie mistake. I am using WordPress MU 2.9.2. Any idea why it thinks the function is missing?

Thank You for posting the Widget – the options looked really good.

Which version of WordPress and BuddyPress are you running?

To post a new topic to a thread using the Group Forums Directory, you must be a member of that group and the group must be public. So, you will not have the option of selecting groups that are private or those of which you are not a member.

I’ve been playing with Mystique as a likely candidate for a blog I’m working on, but I’d lo be able to play with BuddyPress without giving it up! So I’ll just add in another voice that’s excited for this development

@MrMaz Yeah… I’m not having any luck getting avatars resized and uploaded on a single wordpress install. BP Links (Version 0.3.2) is just embedding the URL of the original image. I’m guessing the plugin currently has no folder structure for a single install like it does for MU, which you stated earlier places avatar images in: /wp-content/blogs.dir/files/link-avatars/ — I’m keeping my fingers crossed the next release will have a fix for this

Out of curiosity, anyone know how I can alter the user link (will be editing: link-header.php)?

Currently using bp_link_userlink() but I’d like to change the output from mysite.com/user/ to mysite.com/user/links/ so people can see other links posted by the link owner.

BuddyPress nor WordPress doesn’t have such files called web.config

Every file should be named as something.php. In WordPress, for example, wp-config.php

I think it’s the smtp plugin you installed, which is causing the problem. Make sure the plugin is compatible with current versions of WordPress and BuddyPress.

This thread is going around in circles; I’m closing it. In a nutshell:

If you want to offer your members their own blog, then you will need to use WPMU. The fact that each of your members has their own blog does not mean they have their own site. All the blogs are located on and served from your site.

If you only want to have one blog but offer a social networking layer on top of that using BuddyPress, then single-version (solo-blog) WordPress is all that you need.

You can use single WP and assign users a WP role of contributor or editor if you want users to post on the same blog.

It’s not a HTML file, but rather a function that is located in /buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-adminbar.php.

What are you specifically trying to do?

If you’re trying to modify the BuddyBar, read this:

https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/modifying-the-buddypress-admin-bar/

Requires a bit of manual coding.

Or you can also try this plugin:

Here’s a guide by Adam Wulf:

What’s the character encoding for your WP install? See http://radoff.com/blog/2009/12/03/chinese-characters-in-wordpress/

@Brajesh Singh: Thanks. I made changes directly into the database to fix this problem. The users where are from my old WordPress installation and they registred before installing BP. Maybe it should be possible to have usernames with space, dots and whatever as WordPress do think it is ok???

Hi there,

I have just tried to install the plugin with a woo theme and cannot get it to work.

1. I have modififes my .htaccess to:

# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

</IfModule>

# END WordPress

I have my permalink settings to: /%postname%

The site is not showing an BP pages at all.

I have tried the following links:

http://leistungsakademie.com/blogs

This gives me a 404

also:

http://leistungsakademie.com/wp-content/themes/coffeebreak/blogs/index.php

The latter shows nothing…

It´s not a server issue!

Any idea?

Thanks for your help!!!
